What what's that ... i missed two flights in a row ohhhhh oh ya thats right... good great awesome... lol sooo yup i get to Calgary and have a one night lay over, which was planned. what was not planned was the less then nice hotel i stayed in (note to self, nothing comforting about the comfort inn!) get in my room and its crappy empty cold lonely and just plain unwelcoming... alarm clock doesn't work.. Desi starving ,nofin healthy to eat anywhere at the airport or in uncomfort inn. So Desi calls front desk ... speaks with man who can hardly speak any english (wtf with that by the way??) no no miss we have no other clocks... soooo you can't take one from one of the other HUNDRED EMPTY rooms for me to use? no miss... we we call you in morning... okay well can you please call me once a 7am and again at 730? yes miss yes we do that you no miss your plane... goood great awesome... Desi sleeps....
12 noon Desi wakes.. AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (enter expletives here! hehe) grumpy, half starved and now crazed with panic desi is now less then impressed... no use arguing with ppl.... nothing can be helped... just want out and to get to the airport to figure out a new flight as i have now missed my 10 am flight.... Comfort Inn did offer me a complimentary nights stay to which i sorta politely (not so much) Declined ... i think it went something like when hell freezes over... and i wouldn't stay another night if you paid me!!!
Got to the airport and SURPRISE there are no other flights into Castlegar BC the last plane out ... totally full... i'm a WAIF now lol. so i booked a new ticket and decided to stay right at the airport... thank you Delta... took pity on me and gave me a sweet deal.... ahhhh now this is accommodations... Giant comfy bed... well decorated... friendly staff that can understand what i'm saying.... whew... civilization !!! whooopieeeeee!
caught my flight the next day... at one point texted TJ ( my bro for all you new viewers) and said my final fair wells.. cuz damn this was a small plane... 12 rows thats it... and lots o rust hangin out on and around the engine jetty parts? sorry my plane knowledge is lacking at best... i'm accustomed to the nice roomier jet planes... this thang was small and the seats lol ya not like a normal planes lol totally getto... but i got to Castlegar airport yippeee... but not without some serious turbulence... actually this airport i have heard this week has been better known as Cancel-gar airport as it is in the mountains and very small runway... often planes are unable to land due to in climate mountainy weather.
BC at first glance... Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful... i mean i have fallen in love with Texas but nothing can touch Canada's Beauty!
my first week in BC has been challenging challenging and wonderful all at once... i can't believe i'm here doing this!! so much fun... and the guides are great even a little crazy...
